For model number EPWD157SIW0
Hello Brian, thank you for your inquiry. According to our research, we would recommend checking the door strike for any damage. If it is fine, then the issue is most probably with the latch, part number PS2349356. It attaches to the pedestal cabinet and engages the drawer strike to keep the drawer closed.

I just held the nut gently in the jaws of the pruners and it worked great for the removal and not quite as well for the reinstall of the drawer, but still ok under the circumstances. The most valuable piece of advice that PartSelect gave someone else is which side of the pedestal latch goes up. It's the side that has an extra indentation. Now that I've put in the new pedestal latch, I'm never using the pedestal drawers again. I've moved all my laundry supplies to baskets on the counter, because I read reports from others that these latches break all the time and I don't relish replacing a $55 part every year or so. However, I'm grateful to PartSelect for having the part, providing instructions, and shipping in a timely manner.
I slid the unit out from the wall. I tilted it back against the wall to access the latch. I blocked the drawer open and used a phillips screwdriver to remove and replace the latch.
